Eel sashimi
Tait L.

Sloppy dining room, no soap in the restroom, average selection. No soap in the bathroom? That's egregious - it looked like it'd been dry for awhile. First impression was sloppiness - walking in and seeing a very untidy sushi bar, no one greeted me so I sat myself and grabbed a menu. The selections on the menu are average - nothing special, but not even salmon belly which is sad. Service was below average - I turned in an order with a sashimi sampler, no rice roll and 3 sashimi dishes. Two tables were sat in the restaurant and yet it took 21 minutes to get the first item which is highly unusual for any sushi place. I did see a lot of to-go orders being made and put into bags and maybe they don't care about a customer sitting at the bar as much as U er Eats - who knows - I just know that I'm normally given something much much much much quicker without watching a revolving door on a toaster oven. They use a small cheap toaster oven right at the back of the bar which is a bad look if you want to pretend you're a quality place. Ding! Ding! Check out the picture and decide if you think they are cleaned every day. Or ever? Service - the server actually took my iPhone early on and I didn't realize it for a bit - went to my car thinking I had maybe left it there. It wasn't in my car. I came back in and asked her about it and we found it under a napkin and menu she had whisked away from me when I placed my order. I also asked her about Sapporo vs Kirin Ichiban on which was fresher. She replied, "they're both good". The bottle of Sapporo I received had an October 2024 date on it. It's March 2025. No dirty dishes were picked up at all during my stay - I'll include a picture of my area when my check was dropped off and I waited for my card to be rung as they took care of more take out orders. Sushi - first dish was the snapper and salmon sashimi. The snapper tasted tired - not severely pff but definitely not fresh with hints of fridge burn and age. Salmon was fine but again, average. Sashimi sampler A - 8 pieces. But it wasn't sashimi - piece of fake Keab and a cooked shrimp were included. I asked the waitress and she said their customers liked it and I explained that it still says sashimi on the menu so that's what I expected. Eel - looked nice. Really hard to judge as it was absolutely overwhelmed I. Their thick sauce. Normally that tells me the meat wasn't great but I can't say for sure - just crazily heavy handed o. The sauce. Back off! Let the eel speak for itself! Presentation - decent - sushi places generally nail this and I give Sushi Maku a solid average with nothing jumping out negatively or positively over most places. Obviously I've had high end sushi several times and Iits confusing for me to see this place with over a 4 star rating when a place way way better is similarly rated so I have to correct for that. The lack of decent choice in sashimi automatically starts you at a 4, sloppiness cost a half point. The bathroom cost a full point - no soap? Really? And false advertising on sashimi? Yeah, this place is average but gets knocked down to two stars for the bathroom and false advertising I love sushi - I want to clear the confusion to people on the difference so average and below average places need low ratings. Above average places need high ratings. Help educate with reality. This is not a 4+ star place in any way. Go somewhere else.

Salmon roll, Salmon and Mango Roll, Shrimp Tempura, and I can't remember the other one

A solid sushi spot that's enjoyable once you find the entrance. I have no major complaints, the sushi was pretty good, I would put it somewhere near the middle of the pack of sushi in Dallas.

This is now our go to place. First time trying this restaurant. The food came out fresh. We have been on the hunt for stuffed jalapeños. The food we ordered hit the spot. This is a must try location. Thank me later

Dragon Ball!  SOOOO GOOD!
Conia W.

Never in a million years would I have guessed from the outside how much we would enjoy this place. Salmon sashimi was like butter, service was wonderful. The inside is quiet and inviting. Will most definitely be back often.

Philadelphia Roll

Great spot right off the DNT! We were surprised it wasn't busier because the food was great, the owners are friendly, and very clean restaurant with nice decor. I would recommend the raw rolls over the tempura ones.

Combo Fried Rice
Missy S.

Enjoyed every single bite! The combo rice was delicious the rice was perfectly cooked, the meat was plentiful. This is a must try. The crazy crunchy crab roll was great especially after I added so spicy mayo. The staff is Awesome!!! Great place for Saturday lunch

Overall: 4.7/5 [dine in]…read more Our sushi chef was Jayden and he was so nice. He checked in with us throughout the meal to make sure everything tasted good, offered to cut our hand rolls in half so we could share, and even gave us a salmon belly on the house. Black Cod Nigiri ($6): Best bite of the night and it was on the seasonal menu. It was cooked and I'm not sure what they did to it, but it was absolutely phenomenal. Salmon Truffle Ponzu ($18): My second favorite dish of the night. The salmon was super fresh and the truffle ponzu elevated the whole thing. Scallop Foie Gras ($24): Beautiful presentation and good but surprisingly not as flavorful as the salmon truffle ponzu. I was expecting more umami from the foie gras. Salmon Belly Toro Nigiri ($16): Salmon belly with fatty toro topped with ikura. Delicious and melts in your mouth. Toro Wagyu Uni Nigiri ($22): Fatty tuna, A5 wagyu beef, and uni nigiri. My husband thought it was fun to eat, but said he would not order it again. Nodoguro Nigiri ($13): I looked this up, and it's apparently a rare high end deep sea fish from Japan known as the toro of white fish. Based purely on taste though, I thought it was okay and did not compare to the salmon belly. Kanpachi Cherry Blossom ($6.50): A pretty rosy pink color with a subtle cherry blossom flavor. Okay in terms of taste compared to the other fishes we had. Ami Ebi Nigiri ($10): The sweet shrimp was a bit too raw for me. Crab Uni Butter Nigiri ($12): I did not really taste the difference between the uni infused butter and regular butter so I am not sure it is worth the price, though it was still good. Snow Crab Handroll ($7): So much better than imitation crab. Recommend out of all the handrolls we tried. Eel Handroll ($7.50): Not my favorite but my husband said it was one of the best eel he has ever had. Lobster Handroll ($12): Good but nothing special. Volcano Roll ($28): This took the longest to make and was the last item we received even though we saw them start preparing it at the beginning of the meal. The presentation was beautiful and Jayden even sprayed gold on it for our photo and video. It comes with snow crab, avocado, lobster, and bay scallop topped with eel sauce and was really yummy with lots of seafood. The only downside was that the roll underneath broke apart easily which made it hard to eat. Fresh Wasabi Root ($10): We watched them grind the wasabi fresh which was cool to see. It doesn't have a kick to it though so I wouldn't order it again since I like a tiny bit of spiciness. Matcha Mojito ($15): Not for me. It had a bit too much club soda. Yuzu Saketini ($15): I liked this one more than the matcha mojito. The yuzu flavor was prominent and it kind of reminded me of a Lemon Drop.

If you're looking for fresh sushi and plenty of it -- this is your place. You can either sit by the…read morebar and watch the sushi chefs or grab a booth and have your own space. They have a rotating list of specials on the blackboard so be sure to ask first it as our server didn't really mention this to us so we had to find out ourselves - can be hard to see but there is a menu specifically for this. Handrolls. Get them for the best bang for your buck. They are loaded with fresh fish. Some of the specials weren't our favorite - too much sauce. But handrolls and nigiri were solid.

Sushi Bar Dallas…read more Omakase at Sushi Bar Dallas is an incredible experience from the moment you step inside. The room is intentionally intimate and very dark, with an industrial ceiling where pipes climb 20+ feet above, signaling you're in for something far from a traditional sushi bar. My only gripe came at the front of the house: the initial greeting and the rule explanation were a little too demanding and elementary for someone who is tired and paying a significant amount of money for a sushi dinner. Put the rules in an email, text and on the website i'm not in 4th grade. The hostess was pleasant, but she seemed a bit robotic in doling out the rules of the evening. The line-up system, where you wait your turn and have your name called, feels odd and reminds me of the times I visited my friend in prison and the guards lined us up against the wall by our names before they took us to the room with inmates. Uncomfortable but I do follow most rules and there was a reason for the lineup that becomes clear as you settle in. Next she takes you down a dimly lit, narrow wooden staircase and you land in a basement sanctuary of omakase heaven. Our hostess knocked and the door opened to a room that felt specially curated for this meal. Each guest found their name written in gold on a sign on the sushi bar where you are suppose to sit. The chair was a very comfortable leather chair. Each gold written name plate, marking the guest order she placed us in upstairs. My seat was at the center of the sushi bar, perfectly positioned to capture video and photos of both chefs in action. From the start, we were told we'd be eating with our hands, a nod to traditional Japanese dining. The chefs staged 17 courses with the precision of neurosurgeons, walking us through every nuance from the provenance of the seafood to the section of the fish we were eating to the age of the barrel aged soy sauce. Not a detail was missed, and timing felt both deliberate and urgent in all the right moments. The father, Jose, was laid-back and effortlessly in control, while Leo, Jose's son, emerged as a true partner in the kitchen, their dynamic reminiscent of watching a masterful, living artwork take shape. The two moved back and forth with a rhythm that felt like a collaboration at the highest level, each dish placed neatly on a flat stone in front of each of us. They would then announce with pride what we were about to inhale and wait in anticipation of our response. It was clear they take tremendous pride in their craft, presenting edible masterpieces that felt almost ceremonial. Too keep everyone happy with the time in between dishes there was an endless supply of a pickled salad that I could not stop eating. As for a favorite course, it's hard to pick one. Each bite built on the last, and the whole sequence felt cohesive, an immersive set from tartare hand roll, to Shima Aji, Madai, Uni my favorite, Hotate, Masu, Hirami, Hamachi, Bincho, Kinmedai, and something I have never heard of Zuwaigani, followed by the best Waygu I have ever had in my life and ending with a passion fruit sorbet with activated charcoal crumbles and toasted crispy coconut, I don't like coconut and I ate every bite. The pairing of technique, seasonal seafood, and f#%king great seasonings left a lasting impression or as my wife says, "my husband has food memories." If you're considering a visit, go with an open mind, a willingness to lean into the pace, and a camera ready (flash off it's one of the rules) for the moments when the chefs' artistry shines. The father-and-son team of Jose Manuel Tapia and Leo deliver something rare: not just sushi, but a storytelling meal where every plate is a page in an ongoing, delicious epic food story. At the end they will make you additional food for an additional price but it's worth it. They then walked us over to a very nice bar with a great vibe and old school Dazz Band playing like I was in a time machine and it was 1982. Great place, great food, great vibe. Be ready to drop $300 plus per person tip is included but you will want to tip the sushi chefs something extra.

There are plenty of good choices on the menu (the mushroom risotto is excellent, which shows the breadth and scope of this Japanese restaurant). Again, the wait staff here is very attentive, always checking in and refilling our water or clearing our dishes. In particular, our waitress Lynn is amazing and made us feel right at home. She knows the menu inside out and had recommendations ready for us when we inquired (sake, appetizers, rolls). On top of that, she is very friendly and kind, which added to our positive dining experience. If I were starting a restaurant, I would hire all of my wait staff to be similar to Lynn in character, charm, work ethic, and customer-centric focus. For dessert, Lynn recommended the ube cake -- it was one of the best desserts I've had in a long time. Five stars overall for Nikko for the delicious food, festive ambience, and ease of parking.

I was excited to see chalkboard specials but the pricing looked like it was for 2 pieces of Nigiri but it was for 1 piece and the two choices we made were not very good (seaperch and ankimo). The tempura tipped us off immediately (greasy and overly fried, they looked like onion rings from a hamburger joint), and I'm afraid the sushi was that good, especially considering the price. Himachi sashimi was good and cold. Nigiri was not cold and nothing out of the ordinary. Service was attentive but average (luckily our server forgot to order a roll that my wife wanted).
